LEARN TO MOVE INTO STILLNESS WITH SENSITIVITY AND
PRECISION while OPENING THE BODY AND QUIETENING THE MIND WITH THE

RHYTHMIC FLOW OF DYNAMIC YOGA

Dynamic does not mean aggressive, fast or strong: it means active, progressive, changing. This approach to yoga uses movement consistently and effectively, not only as a preparation for stillness, but as a technique in itself, to harness the dynamic nature of the mind so that physical stillness can be fertile, and the body can open.

Ashika brings her bright energy to her classes where you can expect upbeat music, and strength developing poses while

calming your mind, having fun and getting sweaty. Dancing since the age of three led her to try her first yoga class as a teenager as a way to gain strength and increase flexibility. Growing up with a free-spirited mother and a Punjabi father, spirituality, meditation and the Hindu tradition were a huge part of her upbringing. After moving to LA from NY in 2004, Ashika met Steve Ross and was immediately intrigued and wanted to learn more about the spiritual roots of yoga - not just the physical. Ashika completed her teacher training with Steve Ross and Tom Morely. She has organized and assisted yoga retreats with Tom Morley, Steve Ross and Stephanie Phelan.
